Corruption in the Philippines worsened last year, the global corruption watchdog Transparency International (TI) said in its 2006 Corruption Perception Index (CPI). 


ABS-CBN reported in its website yesterday that the Berlin-based TI ranks 163 countries based on perceived levels of corruption among public officials and politicians in its CPI.


The Philippines ranked 117 last year and dropped to 121 this year, a rank shared by Russia, Rwanda, Nepal, the Honduras, Swaliland, Benin, Gambia and Guyana.

There was a translator, so the stunned opposition members asked for a second translation, thinking there might have been a mistake. Words were exchanged and the same question was posed by the foreigners. Nothing lost in translation.
